Should DU raise money for Democratic candidates?

Poll question: Should DU raise money for Democratic candidates?

We seem to do a good job at raising money for ourselves, but in terms of raising money for Democratic nominees who coould seriously use the help... how realistic is it? It seems that for a group of our size dedicated in the promotion of progressive politics and, in a way, also dedicated in opposing the Republican agenda and President Bush, there couldn't be a more noble cause. Of course, I suppose there would be many obstacles posed in following the campaign finance laws for contributing to campaigns, but can't it still happen?

Just think about how much a site like ours can influence races such as Webb's or Ford's and get 2 more Democratic victories than expected(in red states) in doing so? Is that a possibility, or unrealistic and inconsistent with what DU stands for? Any insight on this topic would be appreciated. I frankly haven't seen much discussion on this here, and am not sure how most of us feel about that.
